For my groups film poster, I wanted to take a image that would relate to the film trailer as well as the magazine, but also to connote the theme of darkness and mystery, that would leave to audience confused and interested and making them want to know more.
We used a Cannon EOS 7D Camera to photograph our images, as this is the most up to date and most suitable camera to use for our project as its 18 megapixel picture quality and other technological functions were of great use.
For my image, I wanted to capture something that represented or even symbolised our project, and since our project was based on a slasher horror, I had thought that it would make sense for me to photograph our main character with this weapon used in the trailer, in his hand. I also emphasised this ideas by applying a vast amount of fake blood dripping from his hand onto the weapon.
What inspired me to come across such an idea was through the research I did on slasher horror film posters. I had noticed a trend of different tools used as weapons being photographed, and that the weapon was revealed in some way, connoting the basis of their project, so this made me continue the stereotype.
Out of the many photographs we had taken, I had decised to choose this particular one (above)because I believe the picture quality was suitable for what I needed, it was different from the rest and I felt that with a few alterations, this photograph will be the correct image of our poster.
The main actor was used to pose with the tool and was photographed with a close up shot at a canted angle which creates more emphasise on the tool, making it the main focal point of the image. We then altered our image to create our media product on Aboble Photoshop CS3.
